[Under the witness of that group from Shrek Academy, I engaged in a fierce duel with Mu En.]

[The outcome exceeded my expectations. I, brimming with confidence, lost—and lost miserably.]

[In one year, such a vast gap had opened between Mu En and me. Perhaps it was the drive of love that made Mu En work harder; perhaps it was my year of stagnation, neglecting the focus of cultivation; or perhaps it was a combination of both.]

[After the challenge ended, we went drinking. I frantically drowned myself, trying to numb my senses. Mu En accompanied me, drinking until we were both dead drunk. He truly was my good brother, but what happened next only deepened my regret—I really let him down.]

[When I woke up in the middle of the night, I found only me and Mu En, who was sprawled on the table snoring loudly, in the room. Xi Shui was long gone.]

[It was then that I noticed a note that had suddenly appeared on the table. Placed beside Mu En, the handwriting was very clear—it was obviously from Xi Shui. The note read: "When you sober up, wash up before returning to your room to sleep."]

[I didn't find this suspicious at all, because during the time the three of them traveled together, I knew Xi Shui had a cleanliness obsession—it had never changed.]

[Perhaps it was the lingering alcohol in my system, or perhaps it was my still-unwilling heart. I picked up the note from the table and, as if possessed, left that place to search for Xi Shui.]

[The door to Xi Shui's room was open. It seemed she had gone to bed early—understandable, since she and Mu En had drunk until so late. I walked in, and a sweet, special fragrance hit me. But at the time, I didn't think much of it; I simply assumed it was incense in Xi Shui's room.]

[I silently walked to the bedside, intending to take one last look at Xi Shui before leaving Shrek Academy. That way, I would never have to see the loving scenes of Xi Shui and Mu An together again, nor would I have to feel heartache or pain anymore.]

[But then, an unexpected turn caught me off guard. Xi Shui seemed to have woken up, and her voice came from inside: "Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for ages. Do you smell that fragrance in the room? Hehe, it was specially prepared for you—a poison I personally set, Spring Breeze Dew Fragrance. How about it? Surprised?"]

"Damn, is this really that cliché?" Inside the Earth Dragon Gate, Nan Qiuqiu stared at the scene on the Heavenly Curtain, utterly flabbergasted.

She never imagined that the so-called hidden truth would unfold like this.

When she heard the name Spring Breeze Dew Fragrance, a faint blush crept onto her face, barely noticeable.

Clearly, she had heard of this poison and knew its specific effects.

Nan Qiuqiu wasn't the only one reacting this way. The vast majority of people on the continent also felt a wave of melodrama.

None of them had expected that the very beginning of this matter would take such an absurd turn.

Of course, some also condemned Dragon Emperor Douluo's character.

They said that even without the Spring Breeze Dew Fragrance, Long Xiaoyao might still have done such a thing.

After all, a normal person would never wake up in the middle of the night after drinking, then sneak into their drunk brother's woman's room to visit her while their brother was passed out.

No sense of boundaries at all—too undisciplined.

And with a man and woman alone together in the same room, accidents were all too likely.

···

"Looks like this Long Xiaoyao's character isn't all that great either~" Inside Haotian Fort, Tai Tan sneered with disdain.

He hadn't expected things to unfold this way.

This guy named Long Xiaoyao was far inferior to that Mu En.

Originally, he had held some respect for these human Soul Masters on Douluo Continent who achieved the Limit Douluo realm through their own efforts.

Now it seemed, some of them weren't so impressive.

Even though he had once been a Soul Beast living in the Star Dou Great Forest, he still knew what a sense of boundaries meant, what limits were.

In the dead of night, barging into his brother's woman's room.

The very act of stepping through that door was enough to make one feel contempt.

This wasn't truly letting go at all.

If he had really let go, none of this would have happened, and naturally, what followed wouldn't have occurred either.

···

Inside the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy.

Xian Lin'er watched the scene on the Heavenly Curtain and suddenly thought of her own situation.

She glanced at Yan Shaozhe, who was leisurely lounging not far away, and her anger flared. She snorted, "The vast majority of men really aren't any good, no matter how strong they are."

"Uh, Lin'er. You can't say that." Yan Shaozhe gave an awkward smile but didn't argue much.

After all, in his youth, he had indeed wronged Xian Lin'er and betrayed her.

Just then, Elder Xuan couldn't help but join the conversation: "Lin'er, that's where you're wrong. People like Long Xiaoyao and Shaozhe are still the minority."

Of course, Xuan Zi was also quite surprised inwardly. Ever since Elder Mu's monologue, he had known that the truth he once believed was actually false.

But even after learning the real situation, he hadn't expected that the events back then would unfold like this.

Elder Mu was such a good person—this was truly an undeserved calamity.

No wonder Long Xiaoyao spent his entire life atoning for his sins; now it all made sense.

"Elder Xuan, why are you teasing me too?" Bearing the brunt of two attacks at once, Yan Shaozhe was finally starting to struggle.

[Hearing Xi Shui's voice, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning. I didn't dare make a single sound, terrified that even a slight movement would let Xi Shui recognize me. In the dead of night, barging into her private room—how could I ever face Mu En or Xi Shui again!]

[But soon, as I replayed Xi Shui's words in my mind, I was even more shocked and panicked.]

[Spring Breeze Dew Fragrance—it was indeed the first time I had heard of it; but as for its specific effects, just from the name alone, I could guess them!]

[At that moment, whatever I feared came true. Suddenly, standing frozen in place, I felt a surge of heat rising within me. That heat rushed upward from below, straight to my brain, giving me no chance to react or resist.]

[My cautious rationality told me that I should take advantage of my last moments of clarity to turn and run. Get away from here, get away from Xi Shui. Even if I couldn't detoxify, at least I wouldn't cause an even bigger problem.]

[But in the end, I hesitated. I couldn't bear to leave. Under the influence of the Spring Breeze Dew, my once-dispirited heart now stirred wildly.]

[In the end, I did that thing that would make me regret it for the rest of my life...]
